For plain text output, it incorrectly prints the pointer value "void *data". The "void *data" is actually pointing to memory that contains a bpf-map's value. The intention is to print the content of the bpf-map's value instead of printing the pointer pointing to the bpf-map's value. In this case, a member of the bpf-map's value is a pointer type. Thus, it should print the "*(void **)data".
